Hi, over the weekend I just noticed how difficult it can be to bootstrap a gnunet node, when no hostlist servers are available. The gnunet.org site was down (maintainance?) and most of the other hostlists that came up via Google were outdated or unavailable :(
So to help out in the future, I'm now running my own hostlist server: http://mosquito.dyndns.tv/gnunet-hostlist/hostlist Gnunet's contrib/ directory contained a simple CGI script doing the job, but I wanted something that doesn't require CGI to minimize load on my server. So I ended up with a cron-script that runs 4 times an hour, atomically updating the hostlist file served by apache. The required scripts+config files and minimum documentation can be found here: http://mosquito.dyndns.tv/freesvn/trunk/gnunet-hostlist If anybody is interested in running a similar setup, just try svn co http://mosquito.dyndns.tv/freesvn/trunk/gnunet-hostlist sudo make install That /might/ do the job. BTW is there any central list of hostlist servers where I can add myself? cheers, David -- GnuPG public key: http://user.cs.tu-berlin.de/~dvdkhlng/dk.gpg Fingerprint: B17A DC95 D293 657B 4205 D016 7DEF 5323 C174 7D40
